Daniel and all,
While I attended Museums & the Web this past year, I will not be able to attend in 2014. It's the more expensive US-based musetech conference, and my museum can only pay for my attendance at one conference a year. (My primary conference is Museum Computer Network, where I'm on the planning committee.)
I think we generally do a good job of dispersing our efforts across conferences - so if we had a presence as a workshop at Museums and the Web that would be fantastic! I encourage those who are able to to try to attend. It'd be great to make this happen (and also a perfect full-circle moment following Liam's big MW workshop that kicked off a lot of our efforts in 2010!)
Let me know if you'd like an additional set of eyes on the proposal draft.
Best, Lori

Dear all,
is anyone planning to attend Museums and the Web 2014 in Baltimore next April? Details at http://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/ .
The call for proposal includes provisions for pre-conference workshops, which led me to think that putting a proposal in for a Wikimedia workshop might be worth a thought.
The submission deadline is Sep 30 EST, but workshop proposals should not exceed 500 words, so that would be doable.

Cheers,
